  1. All it means is that the world is going to get their EVs from a company that *isn’t* run by a walking PR nightmare

  2. Absolutely nothing there’s so many different better companies that make better EV’s

  3. It’s to bad Tesla is an American success story really want them to succeed. I guess musk had to choose to be in politics or have a car company he chose politics kind of a waste.

  4. Honestly, I think the best thing for the EV market is Tesla dying ASAP. Tesla is a liability, and at this point, a ridiculously over-valued joke of a company.

  5. Why aren’t all the MAGA rednecks buying Teslas. I thought they love Tesla now.
    My buddy in Alabama says they are a status symbol among the MAGAS there

  6. There are many real car manufacturers that produce EV. Tesla is junk comparing to others.

  7. What is the real shame is that idiots blame the company and vehicles for 1 person’s views.

    Every time something like this happens it’s like dealing with pod people. Just 2 years ago you all thought that not owning an EV was the end of the world and now you are attacking them.

  8. Does Lady Gaga sounds like a real name to you..of course its Roger

  9. We would not have “better” EVs to chose from today without Tesla. The Leaf didn’t make other auto makers nervous, the 3 got us to where we are today in the US.

    It wasn’t that long ago that Tesla had 80% of the market in the US. Many Americans still associate the word EV with Tesla and Elon with Tesla. The transition is being damaged by Elon for sure but there are still a lot of Americans who conflate EV and hybrid, somehow those Toyota narratives stuck.

  10. So with US sales of EV up 11% While Tesla is down 9% there is enough evidence to suggest that more ppl will buy non Teslas and specifically EVs just to spite the fuckface nazi shithead

  11. It means nothing. Tesla is far behind the competition now. The only reason they were leading the EV market is they had the most brand recognition for EVs. They were losing market share before (while the overall share of EVs was growing). Musk’s unmasking has only accelerated that trend.

  12. After reading (OK, skimming) the article I still don’t feel that I got a good answer to what it means to the transition to EVs. Many words, but not many numbers.
